Kayak Save My Wife Lyrics

(Nostradamus)
Oh I would give all that I own
Would I be king I'd give my throne
If I could have you back beside me
It all seems like a cruel joke
That leaves me numb, destroyed and broke
I've lost the hand I need to guide me

Now what have I done that I deserve this pain
To lose all I have
And to endure this endless shame
I'm calling out but there's no one there
It's so unfair, just so unfair

Throughout these lands they know my name
My treatments and my rise to fame
How I fought the plague - just helping man survive
No matter how I seem to win
It doesn't mean the smallest thing
If I can't even keep my next of kin alive
And save my wife

My patients are refusing me
Authorities pursuing me
My friends all seem to have departed
If there's a lesson to be learned
It’s knowing when the cards have turned And see your efforts unrewarded

'cause what is it worth to hear them sing your praise
One day you're a saint
The next day you will fall from grace
Laughed about no one to care
It’s so unfair, just so unfair

No one's ever gonna take her place
In my dreams I'll always see her face
Her memory will haunt me
While simple folk will taunt me

Should I be angry, should I cry?
Why of all people did she have to die?
And take our children with her
My life's turned cold and bitter
For the one I couldn't lose has gone...

Throughout these lands they know my name
My treatments and my rise to fame
How I fought the plague - just helping man survive
No matter how I seem to win
It doesn't mean the smallest thing
If I can't even keep my next of kin alive
And save my wife
